Festival paella catering in Moulsecoomb, made fresh on the day
We can trade as a stall or cook for crew, volunteers and VIP areas. Popular choices include churros, seafood paella and chicken and chorizo paella, and we are frequently booked for crew, volunteer and VIP catering and open days.
Summer fairs around Moulsecoomb are frequently run by volunteers, so a trader who brings everything and needs little help is a bonus. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

What happens on the day
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. At midsummer, events in Moulsecoomb stay light until about 9:15pm, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.

- We confirm menu, pitch needs and documents.
- We set up on time.
- We cook and serve throughout.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive

Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.

Should I cook it myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
